Copilot Vision rolls out for Windows users

Copilot Vision, an extension of Microsoft’s AI assistant, is now available to Windows users in the US. The feature enables users to share their screen or specific applications, allowing Copilot to provide guidance on software features or analyze displayed content. The launch occurred on June 12, 2025.

According to the Copilot team, this feature acts as a “second set of eyes,” analyzing content in real time to assist users, provide insights, and answer questions. Users must choose to enable Copilot Vision for it to access visual information.

Microsoft initially began testing Copilot Vision earlier in the year. Now, both Windows 10 and Windows 11 users in the US can access the feature without a Copilot Pro subscription. Copilot Vision remains a part of Microsoft’s experimental Copilot Labs AI initiatives.

Copilot Vision operates within the Copilot app. Users can activate it through a glasses icon, which allows the selection of a browser window or app for sharing. This process mirrors screen or app sharing in Microsoft Teams meetings. The experience is opt-in, requiring users to specifically share applications. Unlike Recall, Copilot Vision does not continuously capture screen snapshots.

While a full test of Copilot Vision on Windows has not been possible outside the US, initial hands-on experience was gained at Microsoft’s 50th anniversary event in April. Once an app is shared, Copilot can highlight portions of the screen to guide users and address inquiries. Copilot Vision is also available on iOS and Android.
